Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix

I wanted to get some oppinions on the different Gluten Free Pizza crust mixes. I know of a few but would like some input from others that may have already ventured this way.

I use Pamela's Ultimate Baking and Pancake mix regularly. We have it on Amazon prime shipping for the discount. We use it for cookies, brownies, banana bread, etc. I tried it once for a pizza crust(found recipe from her site) and it was really runny. The pizza was okay, but it was a bit soggy.

I also saw on her website she has a product that is a "Wheat Free & Gluten Free Bread Mix". Her website listed two different recipes for a pizza crust. I also like that it looks like we could make just regular sandwich bread, rolls, maybe even bread to dip in olive oil on the rice pasta nights. Problem is I can't find a store in my town that sells the stuff. They only sell the ultimate banking/pancake mix which we already have. So I would be stuck having to buy $30 worth of mixes on Amazon. I really don't want to waste the money if it isn't good for pizza, breads, etc.

I also saw that there is Bob's Red Mill Pizza mix and a "King Arthur gluten free multi purpose flour." It had a pizza recipe on the back of the pack I saw at a store.

So what I'm asking... has anyone tried any of these products I mentioned (or something else I am missing)? My wife and I really miss pizza.

I just made King Arthurs pizza crust mix last week. It is pretty good overall. Makes 2 really large pizza's. Cut dough in half and freeze if that is too much.

You need to roll it out fairly thin , I just patted it out and got a super thick crust . Taste was nice, as was consistency.

Rice crust IMO tends to be sweet so a more robust sauce I think is best. I just thinned a marainara sauce with plain tomato sauce.

The King Arhtur Pizza crust recipe (using their AP gluten-free flour) is Excellent. It's the best gluten-free pizza crust I have made. It is time/labor intensive but so worth it. Another one I like is Chebe. Chebe is very different gives a great chewy crust and is good when you want pizza fast.

I tried Bob's Red Mills and it was barely edible to me. Tasted sort of like corn bread and fell apart when I picked it up. I tried it the next day for leftovers thinking maybe it would have gotten better like some pizza does and I nearly gagged it was so bad. I had to throw it away.

I have not tried Pamela's for making pizza crusts but everything else by Pamelas that I have tried (cookies, cakes mixes, etc) has been great.

ETA: Just wanted to clarify that this is the King Arhtur's recipe I made: Open Original Shared Link

I'm not sure if they have a different one, but the post above mine mentioned something about rolling out dough. The "dough" in the recipe I made is really more like drywall spackle or thick cake batter--you can't roll it out with a rolling pin.

Our favorite is Gluten Free Pantry French Bread and Pizza Crust Mix. Each box makes 3 round crusts and the dough freezes very well.

How about making your own Pizza crust from scratch? It's really not that much more work. Here's a few helpful tips for you:

  • Cook pizza on a baking stone and make sure to pre-heat the stone in the oven before putting pizza on it
  • Prick the pizza dough lightly with a fork to control blistering or bubbling of the crust
  • Turn the heat up to 500F when cooking
  • Change the shape of your pizza's (ie. square or rectangle)
  • Use a pizza wheel cutter (kid's love using these)

Here's my favorite homemade recipe:

Sure hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

oops , No, you can't roll it out, I should of said pat it out as thin as you can

We tried the pizza crust recipe using bisquick and did not like it at all - it was very sticky and "ricey". It's not a mix but the Udi's pre-made pizza crust came out OK.

I've only tried Bob's Red Mill and I agree, it's barely edible. Will not buy again. I think the next time I try pizza I'm going to use my favorite recipe for French bread.

We eat the Bisquick gluten free pizza crust once a week. We actually love it. Mine does not come out sticky or ricey at all. Mine is a nice crispy crust. I do add 1/2 cup of Kraft Parm. cheese (shaker cheese)to it though before I spread it in the pan.

Pizza in a Pinch

Udi's Bread- Toasted

Put one spoon of Tomato sauce (I use Basil/Garlic)

Layer Pepperoni

String Cheese cut in half lengthwise and crosswise.

Lay 2 or 3 of the cheese on each slice of toast.

Broil in toaster oven until the cheese melts and slightly browns.

Yum!

Y'all made me hungry for pizza so I had to come up with something!

My son loved it. Guess I can buy less BJ's Pizza now!

Totally agree with making it from scratch. I have yet to find any even decent bought pizza crust so make my own (thin and thick crust). All the yummy charred bits! Mmmm...more like the real thing than bought (but then I practically live in the kitchen!). :D

I actually like the John's Red Mill, but it is a lot of trouble. I use Udi's and preheat the pan (I don't have a pizza stone) while the oven heats. Pile those goodies high! We love it.

Thanks for all the input! This really helps us eliminate a few options and try a few different products and make our own to see what our family really enjoys the most.

Thanks again!

I love Namaste pizza crust mix. It makes a very light and crispy crust. One mix makes 2 crusts, but you can just measure out and mix dough for one. I spread it out on parchment paper so I can cook it on the pizza stone that's been used to make regular pizza.

I tried Pamela's bread mix for a pizza crust (that's my fave bread mix!) but thought it was a little too thick and chewy. I like the Namaste much better!

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:
